To help promote healing of diaper rash, you should:
A)
Increase airflow, allowing the baby to be free of the diaper for periods of time
B)
Stop using soap when washing cloth diapers
C)
Tighten the baby’s diaper more
D)
Give your baby less baths, as they may irritate the rash
Increasing airflow to your baby’s affected area is an important part in healing diaper rash. The area should always be dry and clean, even when diapers are on. Bathing your baby daily is essential in allowing the diaper rash to heal. Keep your baby’s diaper loose, allowing airflow to get to the area, and reducing the risk of chaffing the sensitive spots. When using cloth diapers, make sure to wash with soap and bleach between each usage.
Which two vitamins are important for sperm function and male fertility?
Low levels of vitamin C and zinc can cause sperm to clump together, so keep your numbers up.
Hyperprolactinemia, excessive prolactin (the hormone that stimulates breast milk) production, only affects female fertility.
Hyperprolactinemia causes infertility in around 11% of oligospermic males. Hyperprolactinemia also directly influences spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis by acting on prolactin receptors present in Sertoli cells and Leydig cells in testes, and produces primary hypogonadism and infertility.
